I have a passion for walking alongside individuals and families as they strive to live rich, fulfilling lives. Since 2000, I have been providing Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy to children struggling with attachment sensitivities. As part of of treating children with attachment issues, I have also developed strategies for addressing many of the challenges that often exist alongside attachment problems such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, sensory issues and executive function delays.

Current openings! Visit jhigginscounseling.com to request a Free 15-minute Telephone Consultation. Do you ever feel stuck? Find yourself worrying about the future? Or find yourself dwelling on or re-living events from the past? What about comparing yourself to others, or criticizing yourself or those around you? Maybe creating rules for yourself that feel limiting? You may have tried to solve these problems by getting rid of them, avoiding them, outsmarting them, or overpowering them. While natural, it's often unhelpful with thoughts, feelings, memories, sensations, and urges.

I have had the pleasure of working in this field for more than 35 years and have found that no problem is too big, peace is a position of power, and change is another word for refine/revise/adapt. My favorite quote is: "You have to fall in love with your life." Counseling is a way to learn the barriers to doing this, the tools and techniques for doing so, and shifts in beliefs needed to attain the trickle down effect from this. Clients with whom I work often are seeking shifts in their life/spiritual view, focus, behaviors and coping skills.

Counseling varies depending on the personality of both the therapist and the client and the particular problems that you may be experiencing. I want to help you address the problems you hope to address. Often this includes building skills to: reduce feelings of distress, improve relationships, communication with others, and/or to resolve difficult personal issues. In order for therapy to be most successful, you will be asked to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, negative self-talk and/or relationship issues? You may feel like you're passively existing, disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you are engaging in impulsive, high risk behaviors in an attempt to feel something. You want and need things to be better, but you feel hopeless or incapable of making change. Together, we can uncover the causes of your issues and resolve them so you can have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

Experiences and circumstances have a way of changing how we perceive and understand the world around us. They alter the way we act or behave, the way we think, and the way we respond to different events or challenges that may occur in life. When we take the time to explore how we act, think, and feel we can access new parts of ourselves and gain understanding of how we interact with others in our life. “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be; and embrace who you are.”

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I can work with you to create a safe space to explore the things that keep you stuck and address the roots of these issues rather than just the symptoms. I believe the strength of the relationship we create can be a source for change to find the resilience needed to lessen the gravity of your suffering and frustration. Sessions can address depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, family of origin issues, stress management, anger, self-image issues, self-esteem, and difficult life adjustments. I also have experience assisting individuals who are recovering from chemical dependency.

Mental health issues do not define who you are. It is something any of us can experience at any point in our lives. Maybe you're feeling depressed or anxious and cannot seem to pinpoint why. Or you might feel like the daily stress of life is becoming too much to tackle on your own. Perhaps you are even here in hopes to help someone else in your life. Counseling creates a safe place to discuss any and all mental health issues whether big or small. Talking to someone can help you gain the necessary tools to take back control over your emotions and change your behaviors in a more positive direction.

Therapy is a tool to help a person become the best version of themselves. Trauma, stress, unhealthy relationships, poor coping skills, emotional dys-regulation are all factors that contribute to being unwell. Counseling allows a person to work through those barriers and improve the way that they manage stress, find healthy ways to express emotions, work through trauma that has caused you harm, build tools to have healthy, productive, relationships with others and ultimately find alternate ways to cope with distressing events within our lives. A counselor is not only a therapist, but a guide and facilitator of growth.
